Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

A ProPublica analysis revealed a stark pattern across the Deep South, where about 200 majority-Black public school districts educate 1.3 million students. Alongside those districts are private academies filled almost entirely with white students. (Published Dec. 2024)

EPSTEIN SPENT THANKSGIVING WITH TRUMP WHILE HE WAS PRESIDENT? www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.

Is it not obvious that this is a thread? lmfao

Waste from beer brewing has been spun into a sustainable yarn for producing clothes. The protein-based thread is stronger than wool, and its inventors are already scaling up to produce tonnes of the yarn before the end of the year.

Jeremy, I have followed your science advocacy on this platform with respect, but I find this thread deeply hurtful and sad and I am going to tell you why. While my wife did her postdoc at CSHL, she and our many dear friends had to endure the racist rhetoric of this man, which did constant harm

“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Biden knew that Israel was committing crimes against humanity in Gaza and then decided to keep US commitments to Israel, shortly before handing it over to Trump www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...

WE LOVE TO SEE IT. STILL FEED YOUR NEIGHBORS THOUGH.

they aren't politically scared of people on SNAP.

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants. Appeasers.

Read 🧵…all of it, because it’s what I’m seeing at my institution too, and I’m sure everyone else is as well. Indigenous mentors are so important right now.

"Let us not forget, that the great seal of the United States says 'E pluribus unum'. That means 'From many, one'. Every life matters. No matter where you came from, no matter how you got here, no matter how you identify, you have the right to live a life that is free." - the sandwich-throwing guy

absolutely heartbreaking.

Here’s the history of Philly‘s Front Street Walls project, which is now curated by me (#StreetsDeptWalls) with Mural Arts and CookNSolo!

It’s really important to note who filed the lawsuit: faculty and staff. Once again, not administrators.

I've been covering elections since 1982 and never seen a whupping quite like Tuesday, with Democrats winning everything everywhere from Manhattan to Mississippi The question now: Does a cornered, wounded Trump double down on dictatorship? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/demo...

6 Nov 2025 -- In a ruling from its shadow docket, an unsigned Supreme Ct decision backs Trump emergency request to force passport for trans people to record their bio-sex, finds it does not constitute differential treatment. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

I've not talked much about my ADHD since migrating to this place, but got a reminder today of why it's been important for me to be out and proud about it. There is so much stigma around life-changing medication, for a hormone deficiency condition that's as common as high blood pressure.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Between Sliwa and Brad Lander probably the best thing you can do as a public figure right now (even if you’re odious! like Curtis!) is lose gracefully being exactly who you are. People are desperate for dignity to make a comeback and they’ll reward you later.

well, well, well...

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

TIL stimulants like Adderall reduces risk of dementia in people with ADHD to neurotypical levels. So gimme those drugs.

The war involving the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has created the world's largest humanitarian disaster, a leading hunger agency says. The major city of El-Fasher has been particularly hard-hit. n.pr/3WxwHHX

I once again called my Senators: Tillis and Budd, reminding them that the shutdown is taking food off the table of working families and means health insurance premiums are sky-rocketing. Join me! 5calls.org

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

I will never get over the fact that my uni's president wrote her a personal letter of apology for "sharing" the fifth place at a competition (not a medal even), that made her "famous", so we all could get our grants back. Voice over: we didn't get it all back, we just got another shake down offer.

The Trump supporter who now runs CBS news cut the portion of the interview where Trump said he loved her. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

Reginald Dwayne Betts was locked up as a teenager for carjacking. Books were his escape. Freedom Reads — which he started in 2020 — installs libraries in prisons across the country. https://wapo.st/4oHT3m3

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

Gaza Government Media Office says just 24 percent of agreed aid allowed into Gaza since ceasefire deal came into force.

Was going to suggest they do “Masque of the Red Death” next but they already took care of that in the first term. www.politico.com/news/2020/10...

The print version of @theonion.com is worth every dime.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

OPINION: "There are powerful signals that this it-can’t-happen-here surge of masked and heavily armed state terror that has turned life in Chicago upside down is coming to Philadelphia — and at least a half-dozen other major U.S. cities — very soon." — Inquirer columnist Will Bunch
